Shows how to move a working network model written in NEURON from a serial processor to a parallel machine in such a way that the final result will produce numerically identical results on either serial or parallel hardware.

USAGE
=====
You may either autolaunch from your browser, or download
the zip file and run the simulations manually.
1. Autolaunching from ModelDB
------------------------------
A "Launch" panel will appear that offers four buttons labeled
Ring (Serial)
Ring (Parallel)
Random (Serial)
Random (Parallel)
Click on one of these to run a simulation. Results will be
printed in the terminal window. At the end of a run, you may
run another simulation, or exit.
2. Download zip file
---------------------
Expand the zip file in an empty directory.
The ring and random network files are in
HinesCarnevaleJNM2007/ring
and
HinesCarnevaleJNM2007/random
respectively.
Before running the random network simulations, you must first
compile the mod files in HinesCarnevaleJNM2007/random with mknrndll
(MSWin, OS X) or nrnivmodl (UNIX/Linux).
If you're not sure how, see
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/docs/faq.html#compilemod
To run a simulation manually:
UNIX/Linux--
cd into the ring or random subdirectory
At the system prompt, type
nrngui filename
where filename is one of the following:
ringser.hoc
ringpar.hoc
ran3ser.hoc
ran3par.hoc
MSWin--
Double click on ringser.hoc, ringpar.hoc, ran3ser.hoc, or
ran3par.hoc
If the simulation finishes and exits too quickly, open the
hoc file with a plain text editor and change the last
statement from
quit()
to
// quit()
Save the hoc file and try again. It will now be necessary
to type ^D (control-D) or quit() at the oc> prompt to exit
NEURON.
OS X--
Double click on ringser.hoc, ringpar.hoc, ran3ser.hoc, or
ran3par.hoc
or
drag and drop the hoc file on the nrngui icon in the NEURON
application folder.
If the simulation finishes and exits too quickly, edit the
hoc file as suggested for MSWin.
